Article III of the US Constitution

And again, what you assert they meant is at odds with what THEY say it meant.



How about you quote just ONE of the framers who says they meant what you suppose.

Pssst: Jefferson didn't write the constitution. He wrote the Declaration of Independence. He was in France when Madison wrote the Constitution. Try a new meme!
 
Umm, Jefferson had nothing to do with the writing of the Constitution.

Wanna bet he insists Jefferson did write the Constitution. From France.

That's who tea partiers argue.
 
How is this relevant to the discussion? Legislators of all stripes have passed unconstitutional laws.

It's the tea partiers who claim judicial review is "extra constitutional". Nobody else. Certainly not progressives.

So get back on the topic.

Can you back up this assertion?

Yes, but I don't have the time. You're going to have to do your own research on that. Life is too short to educate conservatives on what they espouse.

Psst, hint: "framers" doesn't equal "author". Madison did most of the actual writing. It was a result of the discussion the FRAMERS held over the course of the preceding events.

Here's a list for you

Clever dodge, make an insane assertion and then say that others must do your legwork to back it up. I don't have the time, or the inclination, to play your silly games.

Desperation takes hold.

Meanwhile, citing Jefferson as an expert of Art III, out of context, pretty much sums up why nobody takes conservative seriously.

Pssst: who's arguing that judicial review is extraconstitutional on this thread. Ask them if they're tea partiers.

Why do I have to assist conservatives in finding out what they actually believe?

NEXT!

Neither of you can do it can you? You can't show support for your view of the intent of Art III with quotes from ANY of the people who were there at that time participating in the formation of that document.
 
Was it not the "wingnuts" that said that PPACA would be struct down by judicial review?

not sure I understand the question, but it seems that the very same wingnuts who do not believe in judicial review were the ones who were hoping that judicial review would strike it down

The black letter of Art III. Marbury v. Madison. All case law since.

NEXT!

Okay, then again, rather than repeating the same debunked position, show us the money. Give us a quote from ANY of the founders, the framers, heck, the signatores that comports with your position.

Earth to cat head; it was TP folks and "wingnuts" that asserted that the SCOTUS, via judical review, would strike down the PPACA law, thus that proved that they, in fact, believed in it. :doh

Can't do it, can you. NONE of the folks on the Marshall court were founders, framers or signatores of the Constitution. Of the founders who did write on the subject - they ALL disagree with your position.

Keep dancing.

Exactly my point! It was cat head that asserted that the TP and rightwingnut folks did not believe in judicial review, the very same thing that they stated that they firmly believed in - that the SCOTUS, via judicial review, would strike down the PPACA law on constitutional grounds. :doh

The fact that quotes from the constitution itself are not sufficient demonstrates why no one takes the originalists seriously
